Android 10 compatible?

Android 10 compatible?

Depends, I tried on rui and it was fine. But it seems to have issues with decryption on a10 gsi, but first I let users report it as I'm not sure.

Will you need a modified vbmeta like the one on twrp?
And will it work on my global version?

Yes you will need vbmeta and yes it will work on global.

By any chance was fingerprint working after installing RUi using this recovery?
There are reports of FP broken when using twrp

Nope fp wasn't working after flashing rui, tested by me. Probably need to wait for official rui release.

So what needs to be done to have a working FP sensor? But it's broken even without root?

I know I could simply flash it from twrp and try but, except for OTG working, are there any particular reasons to use this instead of twrp?

I've read that OrangeFox is based on twrp, but offers a better support to Treble than twrp.

Having also magisk/app manager, flashlight(if anyone would ever use it in recovery), password change. Just try it and check yourself.

Hi!

Switch to this recovery today. I'm having some trouble, stucked in a bootlooad: realme white logo and reeboots to recovery. Can someone help me?

I've tried the normal procedure, with the latest rom from Realme support in UK, after wiping system and data. No good.

What should I do? Do I need to install other rom? What about vbmeta? What should I wipe different?

It's a issue with vbmeta. You have to flash vbmeta via fastboot with disable flags:

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

Hi @Jerry08! I've tried that, many times, but no luck. I get the "fastboot.exe: unknown option -- disable-verity" error.

I've tried to download all short of adb/fastboot versions, I've installed the latest android studio, minimal adb, etc., but I can't find a way to get a fastboot that works.

I'm sure that my phone is seen after typing fastboot devices. I'm open my powershell window on the folder that has the files.

Can you please help? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thanks! : )

[/COLOR @Jerry08, I think I get it to work:

C:\vbmeta>fastboot devices
513a895e fastboot

C:\vbmeta>fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Rewriting vbmeta struct at offset: 0
Sending 'vbmeta' (0 KB) OKAY [ 0.008s]
Writing 'vbmeta' OKAY [ 0.002s]
Finished. Total time: 0.031s

After that, It keeps rebooting to recovery.

How can I format and install everything from scratch?

Here's what happened.

Yesterday, I tried to reboot to TWRP but, for some reason I can think off, I couldn't. I thought to try oragefox. When I was installing oragefox, and since I got the fastboot error, I maybe installed vbmeta and then the recovery - or I installed it without vbmeta, can't be sure now. After that, it kept rebooting to recovery. After a while, since I could'n fix it, I eraser caches, system and data and tried to flash the rom from scratch. No luck, I can't pass the reboot to recovery. I switch back to twrp, oragefox sometime got a full black screen and only the flash worked by vol up and power, and it was difficult o restart the phone.

Thanks! : )

Did you wipe or format data(option where you type "yes")? The best you can do now is to format data(option where you type "yes") and try boot to os. And if it does not help, than follow Updating colorOS via Custom Recovery and as last step format data(option where you type "yes").

Now for the RUI users.
There's still a lot issues i face in rui. So BEWARE! Like today I updated Magisk Canary to latest and got bootloop, couldn't boot to recovery and data partition got ****ed up. I had to flash ofox via fastboot and format data to get it back working.

@Jerry08, format data, after installing rom, did work! Thanks a lot. : )

I did format data to install rom. After installing the rom I would get the phone to bootloop. Formating data after the rom was installed did solve it.

Thank you, one more time. : )

Exact same thing happened to me, and i did the same format data to fix it, I thought it was my fault somehow.
I will stay unrooted for now in order to use fingerprint and since Safetynet check was failing for me anyway ever since the server side change from Google
